Turbo-EEPRML: An EEPR4 channel with an error-correcting post-processor designed for 16/17 rate quasi-MTR code

An EEPRML channel with a post processor has been developed for compensating for the degradation in performance due to noise correlation. This Turbo-EEPRML is designed for 16/17 rate quasi-MTR (QMTR) code. The proposed method has high performance and simple circuitry. Simulation showed that Turbo-EEPRML has a 2.0-2.5 dB coding gain over a conventional EPRML channel for 16/17 GCR code.
